Yes these are absolutely key to a basic understanding of global warming theory. The climate is highly complex, but an understanding of the Milankovitch cycles, while not proving global warming, at least makes it plausible. That relative modest forcings can through positive feedbacks create significant changes in climate.
If we were to take education of our citizenry seriously, then Milankoviitch cycles would be part of every child's education. A basic grounding in maths, science and technology would also be available free for adults who failed to reach a basic standing of education as children.

These cyclical orbital movements in eccentricity, obliquity, and precession cause variations of up to 25 percent in the amount of incoming solar radiation (insolation) at Earth’s mid-latitudes - The areas of our planet located between about 30 and 60 degrees north and south of the equator.
